Government Relations & Lobbying
Good policy needs a voice in the room. We help organizations make their case to the people who write laws, budgets and regulations in New York City and Albany.
Our government relations team works with nonprofits, labor unions, trade groups and businesses. We map who decides your issue, what they need to hear and when, and then we build a plan to reach them through meetings, testimony, coalitions and public support.
We follow New York lobbying and ethics rules closely, including registration and disclosure requirements, so your advocacy is effective and fully above board.
